Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter of December 23, 1931 in which you request information relative to Jesse Monk, Revolutionary War soldier and Benjamin DePuy, a soldier of the War of 1812, also, further data relative to Lieutenant Joseph Fenton whose record was furnished you on November 13, 1931.
The Revolutionary War records do not show a claim for pension or bounty land on file on account of the service of Jesse Monk.
The record of Benjamin DePuy is given below.
As stated formerly, this office has no further information in regard to Joseph Fenton (Wt.No.134-200). The seven years half pay which you state was allowed Sally Fenton, widow of said Lieutenant Joseph Fenton is not recorded in this office. It is suggested that you apply to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city for information relative thereto, and for information in regard to location of the land granted on account of his service, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city.
From the War of 1812 records of this office it appears that Benjamin J. DePuy was born August 1, 1794, place not stated.
He enlisted and served as sergeant in Captain John Sprague's Company in the New York Militia from July 21, 1812 to January 13, 1813.

Soldier married February 9, 1815 in Pompey, Onondaga County, New York, Rebecca Pardee who was born February 9, 1796, place not stated.
He died July 5, 1823 in Medina, Orleans County, New York.
In 1851 and 1855 Rebecca DePuy was a resident of Spring Arbor, Michigan.
She was allowed pension on her application executed September 27, 1873 while a resident of Albion, Calhoun County, Michigan.
In 1873 she referred to her son a resident of Jackson, Michigan, but did not give his name or age.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator.

Dear Sir:
From the records of this office it appears that Warrant No. 134 for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued, February 28, 1804 to Sally Fenton, on account of the service of Lieutenant Joseph Fenton of the Massachusetts Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further information in regard to said Joseph Fenton, due to the destruction of papers in such claims, when the War Office was burned.
